with a view to consolidating and developing appropriate digital tools and

knowledge resources in the arts and humanities that involves (i) Engaging with

about 30 potential partner institutions, both universities and cultural

organizations, about 900 faculty and students, representative of different states and

areas of expertise, for digital educational content generation in Arts and

Humanities. About 200 content modules will be made and (ii) Developing a

prototype e-Humanities hub by building appropriate digital tools for sourcing

content, creating resources and disseminating Humanities education. As proof of

concept 5 virtual collaboratories will be made for film analysis, dance analysis,

music analysis, oral history creator and cultural projects maker.

The recommendations are as follows:

i) Higher Education in Humanities can be facilitated through a network of

Universities and Institutions and it was observed that simulation can be done

through the Computer in Humanities subjects also.

ii) It has been recommended that IIIT Hyderabad could initiate an experiment

for a Liberal Arts program for science students.

iii) This would take the form of two to three courses at IIIT Hyderabad.

iv) The course could be a reprography of courses at IIIT Hyderabad with

additional value added.

v) This program platform could later be extended to other Institutes.

vi) The revised DPR should outline a shorter pilot project with a limited budget

and the pilot phase should not exceed four months.

vii) After consultation with partner institutes Sahapedia should present the

revised DPR detailing projects to be carried out with individual institutes.

viii) The DPR should give details of the courses to be developed with individual

institutes.

ix) Prof Mangala Sunder could visit IIIT Hyderabad to see how they apply

rigorous analysis to subjective interpretations in Humanities.

PI was advised to submit a Pilot Project of 4 months duration at the next SC

meeting.

The proposal aims to create a network for transforming Social Work Professional

education by strengthening the learning of Social Work students through

universalising access and use of high quality and contemporary educational

resources to address challenges of the current context in an ethical and results

based manner; build capacities of Social Work institutions and teachers to generate

cutting edge research, knowledge and practice that is relevant to the global and

specific regional realities; and establish commonly agreed standards of excellence

for Social Work Education and Practice through a National Council of Social Work

Education that stewards the growth of the Profession and ensures individual and

social well-being in changing contexts.

After discussions during the meeting, PI was advised to revise the proposal to

incorporate the following feedback of SC members:

i) Delivery Platform development as proposed is a common activity for the

content development of all disciplines, rather than specifically unique to Social

Sciences stream. PI may explore and consider utilizing similar available

infrastructure available.

ii) R&D funds can be sought from other sources, as Mission’s mandate does not

cover such R&D funding.

iii) M & E and Documentation cost of Rs. 64.4 lakhs (including cost of MIs as Rs

50 lakhs) needs to be re-looked into by PI.

iv) Similarly, the cost of the Project Management Team needs to be re-looked

into by PI.

PI may revise and send the proposal by email. PI may also upload the proposal on

Sakshat, if possible.

All the SC members will be given at least a week’s time to study the revised proposal

before being put up to the next meeting of SC. The Agenda note should include the

Mission’s comments on the revised proposal.

for Harmonious Youth Advancement (TARKSHYA)

PI : Dr Ramanujan P, C-DAC, Bangalore

Institution : C-DAC, Bangalore

The P.I Dr. P. Ramanujan made a power point presentation of his main project

TARKSHYA, describing that two participating institutions (i) Indian Institute of

Science, Bangalore and (ii) Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan, New Delhi are the partners

in the project. The project is expected to last for 3 years and has two components:

(i) To create online, ICT-enabled, PG-level, Sanskrit academic e-Content in 4-

quadrant approach to enhance and upgrade Central Sanskrit University Curricular

Course, in 7 Disciplines with 20 Papers each, comprising of a total of 140 courses,

with the budget of Rs. 980 lakhs. The second part of the project is Development of

Tools and Utilities for Online Language Lab for Indian Languages in 3 years, i.e.,

Setting up a National Resource Centre (NRC) for Sanskrit, Vedic and Manuscripts

Processing including an Academy for Heritage Value Education and Training, as a

Centre of Excellence for Research on Indian Knowledge Systems, i.e., CoE for

RIKS, i.e., setting up of National Resource Centre at a cost of Rs. 218 lakhs .The

total budget of the Project is Rs.1198 Lakhs.

The Standing Committee observed that the proposal under discussion, is not a

project, but falls under programme category and advised to induct Co-PIs for the

project also. The SC felt the DPR of such programme should be fairly a detailed one,

indicating the roadmap for the next three years and the deliverables expected at end

of three years, details of experts and staff to be engaged during the tenure of the

project etc. The programme should also indicate how the National Resource Centre

could function after the funding by NMEICT stops after 3 years. It was also

suggested to check for duplicity of activities with National Manuscript Mission

courses (for which e-content are being developed), run by Institutions under UGC.

Members pointed out that a similar programme, by the PI, in the past, was not

approved by the PAB. It is therefore the responsibility of the PI, to explain how things

have changed since then. The SC also suggested that the PI should submit names

of experts to be involved in production of the proposed 140 courses.

The PI was also required to confirm that he is not developing similar courses under

e-PG Pathshala, an e-content Programme of the UGC, where the PI is also engaged

in development of e-contents. The PI is also advised to re-look into the budget

proposals submitted by him. The PI should also submit concurrence of the

participating institutes for being Partnership in the Programme.

SC advised the PI to recast the proposal as suggested above and submit to all for

consideration.

the COMMTEL META PROJEC.

The recommendations are as follows:

i) The project to be completed in two phases as Phase-1 and Phase-2, as

indicated below, and the Centre for e-Learning to identify the deliverables in

these phases.

ii) For transmission and broadcasting of the Live Plus Lectures in real situation

at University of Delhi, Vice-Chancellor and /or Registrar may be approached

by MHRD at appropriate stage. Since at this stage it is important to develop

the proof of concept for Live Plus Lectures, all the simulation shall be done at

SGTB Khalsa College.

Phase I.

iii) Simulation at Khalsa College by few courses to be decided by PI. PI

mentioned that Phase-I will take 1 ½ years. Decreasing the number of

courses shall not proportionately decrease the budget since the infrastructure

cost shall be almost same irrespective of the number of courses developed.

Phase -2:

i) Provide materials to other Universities for implementation.

ii) Broadcasting, transmission and implementation - full-fledged (National level,

multi-lingual).

iii) Test phase to make a Live System.

PIs have been advised to come up with Pilot Phase as Phase-1 of COMMTEL

project in short time and present Phase-1 proposal at next Meeting of SC for being
